Key Points Concerning Operator Interfaces
This section is an overview of how to create an operator interface in VEE.
Creating an Operator Interface
VEE includes a wide range of selection controls, pop-up dialog boxes,
indicators, and displays to create operator interfaces. Selection controls
include items such as buttons, switches, check boxes, drop-down menus, and
list boxes. Indicators include items such as tanks, thermometers, fill bars, vu
meters, and color alarms.
In addition to the operator interface elements provided within VEE, you can
add elements from other sources. There are thousands of operator interface
elements that can be downloaded from the World Wide Web. There are
operator interfaces that are available through ActiveX controls. (Some items
that you download may be free and some may charge a fee.)
Whether you use operator interface objects that are all provided in VEE or
add outside elements of your own, the process for creating an operator
interface is the same.
To create an operator interface for a VEE program, you create a Panel view
of the program.
1. Select the object or objects that you want in the panel view, by holding
down the
Ctrl key and clicking each object to select it.
2. Select
Edit ⇒ Add To Panel. The screen switches to Panel view,
shown by default in blue, that includes the objects you highlighted from
the Detail view.
You now have a view of the VEE program that you can customize to show
only what the operator needs to see.
